On the site of the Roman clerical store Barbiconi you now have a chance to browse an online catalog. Hurry to make your selections. Know a priest who needs a cappello romano which the Romans happily call a "saturno"? You can get one here. Just go to the Barbiconi site. Look on the menu on the left under Clerical Clothing -> Saturno.
Then again, there is Saturno.
You have one of these, right?http://www.barbiconi.com/inglese/dettagli.asp?id=182&cat=4&sottocat=31&sottosottocat=

Now I hope it’s clickable.
Superb! Thank you for this most useful link! I have contacted Barbiconi and hope to purchase one soon!
animadversor: I have a cloak, but not quite like that. Mine is really too heavy to use often. It is great when it is -15 degrees, however. I need a lighter one.

You need to keep your current cape for when you visit the frozen tundra of Minnesota. .

Barbiconi provides very good and prompt service via their online business –they replaced the ribbon for a medallion very promptly, and at no charge.
Barbiconi were amazing! I received an almost instant reply to my enquiry via email and now have my purchase on way to me! Thank you for this link!
Dear Fr Zuhlsdorf,
I only discovered your excellent website today (Oct. 3rd). I greatly appreciated the link to Barbiconi, as I bought a cappello there long ago when I studied in Rome (1988-1996) and was unhappily parted from it somewhere along the line. I lived during that time on the Piccolo Aventino at the Casa Generalizia S. Norberto; and I was interested to see that you live in the centro storico not too far from S. Eustachio. Well, God bless you in your work there; I’m with the U.S. Navy, serving as a Chaplain with the Marines. I will no doubt be flying over the Eternal City (more or less) in a few months on my way to sunny Mesopotamia. In Christ, Fr C. Johnson
